Former Madrid player Schuster questions about Cristiano Ronaldo hunger for goals
Former Real Madrid mentor Bernd Schuster has questions about Cristiano Ronaldo hunger of goals in front of the first leg of their Champions League quarter-last tie with Bayern Munich.
The Portugal international has been not able to match his goal scoring records from past seasons in 2016-17. Netting 26 times in 36 appearances in all rivalries.
In spite of the fact that still a respectable figure, the 26 goals fall some path modest of the elevated benchmarks Cristiano Ronaldo has set as of late. With the 32-year-old having outperformed the 50-goal check in each of the last six seasons.

Only two of those goals came in the UEFA Champions League and former Madrid player Schuster questions about Cristiano Ronaldo hunger of goals. And feels Ronaldo is no longer demonstrating the same desire.
“I no longer observe this genuine want for accomplishment with Ronaldo,” Schuster revealed to Welt. “His team could be 4-0 up some time recently. However, he would at present be frantic to get two goals himself.”

“He was absolute effective when it resulted in these present circumstances. He urgently needed a goal, regardless of the possibility that it was only a penalty. This is something of the past now.”
With Ronaldo attempting to achieve his past form, there is more onus on Gareth Bale to venture up and lead Madrid. However, Schuster is not awed with the Welshman either.
“Gareth Bale is remaining around a great deal yet does not get included a considerable measure,” Schuster added. “He needs time after his injury. He dislikes [Arjen] Robben, who is back at 100 for each penny immediately following a month and a half on the sidelines.”
“But you can’t discount them. These two could wake up again out of the blue unexpectedly. And put in an extraordinary execution, especially in the Champions League.”
